Christopher Davies is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows three young boys—Frank Merivale, Jimmy Brett, and Dick Carleton—as they embark on adventures as budding naturalists and sportsmen in the picturesque Broad District of Norfolk. With its rich depiction of nature and sporting exploits, the book captures the essence of childhood curiosity and camaraderie. The opening of the novel introduces Frank Merivale on a serene December day at Hickling Broad. Lost in thought, Frank's adventure begins with the decision to cut down a straight larch-tree for a secret project, which is soon revealed to be related to building a yacht with his friend Jimmy. The pair quickly become engrossed in their natural surroundings, spotting crossbills and preparing to make use of the tree they fell. Their interactions convey a deep appreciation for nature while establishing their ambition for exploration and the importance of friendship as they prepare for their thrilling exploits ahead.
